Chapter 5: Confirming the situation and future course of Action

I quickly act after I have decided my goal. Since I received the permission to use the money as I like, I started planning out how to strengthen myself.

“I can’t rely on the wiki after all huh.........”

There’s no such thing as a guidebook on how to beat an Eroge.

The only good source of information came from the internet. A wiki created by brave warriors funded with support from the generous sympathizer, which choices to choose for each heroine, how to get to a specific ending, enemy’s detailed status, drop items and even damage calculation were written on it.

“If I at least have my excel file...........Well, I don’t even know whether the data can be used here.”

The excel file has the data I collect from the wiki, it contains the optimized method I used to raise my level.

I also made a drop table from the data I collected and data necessary for the RTA (Real Time Attack).

No, now that the game has become a reality I can’t reroll by going back to the title screen anymore.

“The problem now is that data integrity........before I only need to click on a button to use magic but now I have to calculate the amount of magic power myself.”

First, let’s read this book to get a basic understanding of magic.

I pick up the book that I place nearby.

“The magic that even a monkey can understand, eh.”

I prepare a cup of tea, sit myself deeply into the sofa and start reading it. The written contents start from the explanation of magic as a phenomenon, its concept, then onto how to use a simple magic. It was as if this book was prepared just for me.

“To increase the capacity of your magical power you need have exhaust your magic and recover it by increasing your level, so basically I have to use my magic to the limit right?”

In the game even if you did not use your magic to the limit, it will still increase more or less. For example magic capacity will increase as you raising your level, using a special item or a bonus from your equipment. But which method is correct?

That’s the thing I need to find out.

Whether what written in the book is really correct or should I trust in the game’s setting.

There’s even a possibility that both of them are correct.

“I need to test it out.”

The experiment will be later, for now let’s continue reading and find an efficient method to verify it.

“I need a check-list”

I tore the nearby paper and use it as a sticky note. Then I sipped a mouthful of tea and turn the page.

—

After I finished reading, it is the experiment time. First, I decided to verify the content of the book by trying it out myself.

I chose a magic that wouldn’t be dangerous even if I failed casting it and head out to the garden.

An elementary level magic should be fine but as expected some of the elementary level is still dangerous and intermediate level magic is out of the question.

“..........As I thought, I have no aptitude for emission type magic.”

In the game, Takioto Kousuke’s strength lay in his strengthening magic that can be applied to items and his own body, his ability in that regard is top-class. However, in exchange he is sorely lacking in the area of emission magic.

“[Water-Gun]”

When I activate the magic a small amount of water fly out. On top of it being slow, the water also loses to gravity and making the aim off, the power is also negligible.

Even if I try my hardest I wouldn’t be able to make it useable. I can just use body strengthening then pick up a stone nearby and throw it at the opponent though, I have no reason to use such magic. If I ever make use of it then it might be convenience when I do the cleaning.

As expected, it is still the same as the game.

“Fuu.”

I breath a small sigh and take out my muffler.

To me who have become Takioto Kousuke, there’s one thing I know. His muffler that serves as his identity is in itself the strongest item for him.

“To make use of his strong point, he always has a long muffler with him.”

Considering what he specialized in, this might become my strongest equipment. It was like that in the game. If you make proper use of it. This muffler might even be better than some legendary sword or legendary shield.

“Then, let’s use this money to buy a new muffler. The muffler I have right now is good too but there should be one with better quality out there.”

Yup, let’s do that. Is there something else I want? Well.....if I have to choose one then....I want a book. The current me has too little information.

No, I guess I might be able to get my hands on the books for free after all.

“I can just ask Marino-san huh.”

If it’s her then she would probably lend it to me. I might also be able to borrow some from the library. I could check on the net about a library that lend out magic book and go borrow it afterward.

But let’s leave shopping and the book for tomorrow. It’s already getting late, so the thing I need to do now is........

“Practice my body strengthening and enchanting magic.”

I return to my room and open my closet then put on my jersey. I used the tablet to check the map around my house. After that I left my house and activate body strengthening then starts running.

I am really lucky that there’s a big park nearby. Another good luck I came across is that there was a running course built inside the park.

This running course is pretty good for people who workout at night since it came with many streetlights alongside the course. The only disappointing thing is the fact that there are people running other than me. Even now I just ran past a person.

From the perspective of the person I passed, he seems to think “what is up with that guy?”. I mean if I were him I would think so too.

I ran through the wind with twice the speed of everyone else due to body strengthening magic. If I keep running like this I could easily get a world record.

This is not the only reason other runners are staring at me. There’s a muffler fluttering behind me when I run after all.

Why does he run around with a muffler? They would probably think so, if this was the Tokyo marathon then I might have been questioned already. But there’s a meaning behind it.

I channel magic into my muffler while I am running. The muffler that fluttering through the wind just now suddenly harden like an iron block.

It was the magic that the original Takioto Kousuke was good at, [Enchant]. He would put a huge amount of magic power into his muffler and make it move as though it was a part of his own body. In the game his skills was called [Third Hand.] and [Fourth hand]

Moreover, the versatility of this muffler is high, it was also possible to change the property of the muffler using magic. It could be made into a shield that as hard as iron or it can guard against fire attribute attack when applied with water attribute. Furthermore, since it can be use? freely like his own hands and feet, he can wield two swords with his hand and equip another two to his muffler which resulted in a four swords style.

What I thought was the most useful feature would be how he able to add elemental property like fire and ice attributes into it.

It wasn’t only good at holding things but also how it can be applied with elemental properties. But when I tried using it myself, rather than using it as is, I think it would be more effective to add some property into it.

I might making enchantment magic my habit. I can even imagine myself casually using the ice attribute the most.

If I enchant it with Ice attribute, the muffler would be cool and comfortable without using the air-conditioner. In the winter I can just give it fire attribute and warm myself up. What a wonderful idea.

Well then, Takioto Kousuke in the game should be able to freely move this muffler to receive his opponent’s sword or even deflecting it. It is a necessary skill to strengthening my close-combat ability.

He was able to freely move it like that by the end of the game, but I need to be able to do it as well. First, I used body strengthening magic then I activate it on my muffler make it move as I want.

———

How far did I ran? I feel like I ran for about five kilometers but I don’t feel tired at all. Is this the effect of body strengthening? If so I feel like I can run ten times farther than this.

I ended my run while thinking about my stamina that has no sign of depleting.

Again, the game setting was right about Takioto Kousuke’s magic power. Even though I kept up my body-strengthening and muffler enchantment for a long time, my magic power doesn’t seem like it will run out at all.

“I want to know my limit though......rather if I don’t even know that I can’t confirm whether my magic power really increased or not.”

Doing ordinary task wouldn’t be able to make you exhaust your magic power. I need an efficient method to exhaust my magic power. Like, isn’t there any magic that can show your status in number? If there’s one I would be able to make progress on various things.

“Well, I got no choice but to do what I can, huh?

For now let’s just practice on attribute enchanting.
